How to Prepare Your HP Apps for macOS 28 Support

Select Language:

If you’re seeing a message on your Mac about Apple ending support for Intel-based apps, don’t worry—it’s understandable. Apple has been using a translation tool called “Rosetta 2” since macOS 27 to make older Intel apps work smoothly on newer Macs. However, starting with macOS 28, this support will no longer be available. That means apps need to be either designed for Apple Silicon or be universal versions to work properly.

For example, HP Easy Scan is an application built for Intel Macs. When support ends, this app will stop working unless you update it. On the other hand, HP Smart is a universal app and will continue to run without any issues.

Here’s how to check if your HP apps are affected:

1. Open the Finder and go to your Applications folder.
2. Find your HP app and right-click (or control-click) on it.
3. Select “Get Info” from the menu.
4. Look for the section labeled “Kind.” If it says “Application (Intel),” that app needs an update.

Since I haven’t seen any recent information from HP about this change, it’s a good idea to visit their website or contact support to find out if there’s an update available for your HP apps. Installing the latest versions will ensure they continue to work smoothly with your Mac’s newer operating system.
